The 6-foot-9 sophomore, who missed 11 games earlier this season with a dislocated right shoulder, had the same shoulder pop out again when he banged into Texas A&M's Bernard King just 40 seconds after entering the game. Holding his right arm with his left hand and grimacing in obvious pain, Simien was helped to the locker room and did not return.

No. 15 Syracuse 89, West Virginia 51

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Carmelo Anthony had 24 points and 10 rebounds and Hakim Warrick and Kueth Duany each scored 18 points for Syracuse. The Orangemen (20-4, 10-3 Big East) remained unbeaten in 16 home games this season and ran their Carrier Dome winning streak to 18 overall.

The Orangemen fell behind by 15 points before rallying for a 94-80 road win over the Mountaineers 18 days ago. This time they built a 35-17 halftime advantage because West Virginia (13-12, 4-9) couldn't hit a shot against Syracuse's active man-to-man defense.

No. 25 Dayton 82, Rhode Island 70

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- Brooks Hall scored 20 points as Dayton rebounded from its first home loss of the season. Dayton (20-5, 12-2 Atlantic 10) shot 12-of-19 from 3-point range and hit six consecutive 3s during a key second-half stretch. The Flyers, beaten 73-72 by Xavier on Saturday, already have clinched a bye in the conference's postseason tournament.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Brian Boddicker scored 19 points as Texas stayed in the hunt for the Big 12 title. Brandon Mouton scored 16 points and James Thomas added 15 points and 17 rebounds to keep the Longhorns (19-5, 10-3) in second place, just a game off the lead with three to play.

Lawrence Roberts scored 27 points for Baylor (13-11, 4-9), with 24 coming in the second half after the game was all but decided.

No. 8 Pittsburgh 75, Virginia Tech 62

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Brandin Knight scored 25 points and hit two of his six 3-pointers during a run that thwarted Virginia Tech's last comeback try.

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mario Austin scored 14 points, including Mississippi State's only basket in the last 7:35. The Bulldogs (18-6, 8-5) moved into first place in the Southeastern Conference West with Auburn losing at LSU.

No. 21 Georgia 89, Mississippi 82

OXFORD, Miss. -- Jarvis Hayes scored 32 points and Ezra Williams had 21 for Georgia (17-7, 9-4 Southeastern Conference), which has won four straight games. The Bulldogs have beaten the Rebels in each of their last four meetings and lead the series 62-34.

No. 24 Memphis 88, TCU 64

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Chris Massie had 24 points and 11 rebounds for Memphis. Massie connected on 10 of 12 shots from the field as Memphis (19-5, 10-3 Conference USA) won its eighth straight and maintained its spot atop the league's National Division. TCU (8-18, 2-12) lost for the 13th time in 15 games.

Missouri 67, No. 3 Oklahoma 52

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Rickey Paulding rescued Missouri from a second-half letdown, scoring eight of his 14 points in a 2:18 span. Ricky Clemons, playing with a broken left hand, had 13 points and three assists for Missouri (17-7, 8-5 Big 12).

No. 12 Wake Forest 60, Florida State 56

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Freshman Justin Gray made four free throws over the final 36 seconds and Wake Forest held onto first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Sophomore Vytas Danelius led the Demon Deacons with 17 points, while league scoring leader Josh Howard added 14.

No. 13 Xavier 80, Duquesne 78, OT

PITTSBURGH -- Xavier overcame a subpar second half by star David West, a frantic upset bid by Duquesne and an unusual overtime. Xavier (21-4, 12-1 Atlantic 10) won its 12th straight game, but it hardly came as easily as expected against a team that had lost nine of 12 and had beaten only two ranked teams in its arena in 15 years.
